The Local Bookshop

I've dropped the ball on describing some of the places I shop regularly for basics like groceries, medical supplies, and so on. Tonight, I present the bookshop where we get school supplies, have items scanned/faxed/copied (particularly in volume...we have a low-budget printer in the house, but copies and scans are slow, and I've never figured out the fax), buy wrapping paper, and more.

Sergio runs the copier
Behind Sergio are all the notebooks, erasers, binder covers, and so on
Welcome to Sergio's place. Tucked into the alley and built into the foundations of the Duomo, Sergio is a local character who is known for his moodiness. On bad days, you might get a grunt. But on good days? There's no one more smiley or liable to burst into song as he walks through the piazza. A kindly soul, and well loved here in town.

The children's section
His shop is crammed from top to bottom with a variety of office supplies, tourist items, books, specialty pens, calendars, packing materials, and more. When closed, it looks like a few barn doors in a wall...as is usual here, there are no exterior signs.

Love,

Alexandra
